Bank of Singapore has hired Ms Diya Amarnani as a relationship manager as it seeks to continue to expand its South Asia business.

She joins from DBS Private Bank, where she advised high-net-worth clients on their wealth management and investment needs. Prior to that, she was a director with Taurus Wealth Advisors.

Based in Singapore, Amarnani will report to Bikram Sen, market head, global South Asia and international.

The bank highlighted its South Asia business as a key growth segment, which it said continues to grow after a series of hires in Singapore.

The latest hire comes alongside recent joiners Ankit Swaika and Mr Yatish Aron, both of whom will start as team heads in the coming months, the bank said.

Over the past year Bank of Singapore has also poached Priyanka Maheshwari from HSBC Private Bank, Dinesh Chaudhary from Julius Baer and Ritika Patel from UBS.
